Hey guys/gals.

Usmcgunner referred me, didn't really know about this forum, even though Ive been in the Carolinas for all my life and been a turbo-nut for over 10 years, raced for 4 years autocross...

Anyway, I have always owned a turbo, so power and speed is instinct and everyday language for me. I started with a Dodge Omni GLH Turbo 5speed (stop laughing) and I've been hooked every since. Never can leave things alone (stock) so EVERYthing I have is modified, even my Toyota Camry and of course Jeep WJ is modified.

My current toy is the infamous Merkur XR4Ti 5spd, Mono-white Compshell, heavily modified autocross (SM class - SCCA) car. Had it for 10 years now.

Cars and automotive really have been a blessing and a curse to me, while its something I've spent WAY too much time and money on it has also taught me the skills I needed to now own a family supporting mechanic business, and an obviously useful skill, even in hard economic times.

Anyway Im getting boring now so, see you around the forums!

OH, one more thing. I love to argue politics and religion so.. don't start if you don't want the HEAT!
